Everything Wrong With Numbers 29 in the Bible

It's time to learn about every festival known to man, and how everyone has to celebrate every day of each one of them.
Correction: At 4:25, I say in the video, "7 baby boy lambs." That number should be 14. My mistake!

what's a defect? who does god's quality control?

[@fromfranceswithlove8084]

Have you ever counted how many sacrifices God asked for in the entire first 5 books? I’d love to know the count!

[@rebeccazegstroo6786]

Were the festivals communal meals similar to what the Greeks did? They ate the choicest part and burned the rest on the altar.

[@rudra62]

This tribe of people could not have possibly eaten THAT MANY ANIMALS, even if they were all carnivorous gluttons.

[@thelyrebird1310]

And once again we get the list of the priests ingredient menu, just how to grift off the people

[@sunnyquinn3888]

Hey, everyone is allowed to have a favorite meal, even God. Lol

[@MajraMangetsu]

the word "offering" lost all meaning.

[@seitisetsoh4991]

Where are they getting all these animals!?

[@visaman]

It hasn't happened yet.

[@FionaBranker]

Do Orthodox Jews still perform these sacrifices?

[@kewakl8891]

... all without defect. It seems that we should run out of these 'without defect' animals.

[@erinhawkins1950]

and a partridge in a pear tree!!!!

[@blargblarg7875]

but the dead animals are the theme.

[@kevinstewart1878]

🎵rammalamb rammalamb a ding dong.... But seriously with every animal specified the include "with out defect". Was there any time when it was specified that you could, or should sacrifice an animal with defects? Maybe there's a bull with the foot of deceased, not fully formed conjoined twin sticking out of it's belly, and god says "oh, ya. That looks yummy"

PS: The Day of Atonement, in its current incarnation, is actually a really good idea. You're supposed to talk to all the people you wronged in the past year and apologize. Given that humans are a social species, yes, good idea. I took an entire half-course in university all about Jewish holidays. It was very interesting, actually. But, of course, sans Temple, things have changed a lot over the centuries.

[@kingalexandersgodshapedhol7514]

Correct me here if I'm wrong, but is not the heading and preparing and burning of all of these animals not work? Hmm.

[@rudra62]

It says "ordinary work". Everybody's got to be rounding up these animals so that the priests can run a large slaughterhouse.

[@incasolja1]

Tell ya one thing….aint nuthin wrong with numbers 69

[@irenebecker4815]

... sorry, I drifted off. Could you repeat that?

[@tbbwolfy8584]

the big question here is. is this only the priest that need to offer that amount of livestock that week or is it every overhead of the families or the overhead of the clans or is it every adult male that need to bring this sacrifice? just to blow the horn festival. in out day we call that festival Beef and BJ day. at is on marts the 14. still i wonder is there even a god order all this or is it some greedy power hungry ppl that sit in the tent where only they are allowed and eat and drink good every day. course we know if any that inst a priest that peek in to that tent will be killed on the spot. I guess that they ate and drank so good . and with 2 running barbaque grills working outside all the time for "food Offerings" they never went to bed hungry. Same time they keept the farmers poor demanding all that stuff from em so they could live the good life and rest needed to struggle. due to they are all sinners... i know why i am not a fan of this religion. since its start it have been building on power and greed. even martin luther couldnt get that greed stopped its still there but alteast not that visible other than from newer free church or mormon directions of this religion

[@visaman]

These were fast days, so nobody ate. Just like today.

[@robertshaw4397]

Does anyone believe God needs to eat or drink anything? He was fine before the universe existed.

[@rudra62]

Yeah. What would God need with food, drink, or a starship?

[@ericjanssen394]

So, you FINALLY figured out that A) Moses may have been personally abusing his Mt. Sinai creds to make up and politicize most of Leviticus and Numbers, and B) nobody pays attention the the OT anyway, as it has precious little to do with the NT? Congratulations, you’ve finally caught up to speed with most of the modern moderate non-Bible-Belt Protestant denominations….Have a cookie! 🍪 😛

[@ActiveAdvocate1]

Does anyone here know whether Orthodox Jew (I'm only using them for example, as the most conservative sect) still make burnt offerings like this? There's no Temple to do it in, but do we know if it's still done in any way? This is such an incredible waste. Like, God, okay, we get it, you're like a toddler who doesn't want to eat their greens, but this much meat is going to give you health problems.

[@Daniel-cz7kd]

Active Advocate Actual question or just joking around?

[@ActiveAdvocate1]

@@Daniel-cz7kd, actual question, believe it or no. Like I say, though, I know there's no Temple to do it in, so I ASSUME not...?

[@Daniel-cz7kd]

@@ActiveAdvocate1 No need to assume, fact is, as much as they’d like to, no burnt offerings or sacrifices can be made (nor should they be done anymore) as there’s no Temple or Alter yet.

[@rudra62]

@@Daniel-cz7kd The last Temple was destroyed in 70 AD. There has been no acceptable place to give these offerings since then.
